Humanitarian Foundation BUDI HUMAN - Aleksandar Šapić
raises funds for Violeta Kerkez (1972).
Violeta felt pain under her left armpit after a usual working day. She thought it had been due to weight of the hair dryer, scissors, haircut and hand position during that busy day and many satisfied customers. Morning brought a swollen left breast and a few days after she faced with the diagnosis of a rare and invasive stage III breast tumor.
From that March 2018, Violeta's struggle with this vicious and insidious disease began. Violeta confronted it bravely, denying any pain and deciding to deal with the illness with work, working as long as her physical condition would allow. Since last fall, Violeta has been officially retired. The amount of the pension income is devastating for a person who started very young and worked all those years, building the image of her hair salon and acquiring permanent and satisfied customers.
After several cycles of therapy, the disease subsided. Everything seemed to be returning to normal and Violeta was fine. At least that's what her friends thought it looked like.
Since November 2019, the situation has been deteriorating. The tumor has been spreading to both the right breast and the lymph glands. The pain intensifies. Sleepless nights have continued. Given that from March 2018 to the present, Violeta has been getting various therapies that have been proposed by the doctors from Oncology Institute. It seems that all treatment methods in Serbia are exhausted.
Violeta got in touch and went to consultation with doctors from abroad. Unfortunately, for the examination itself, it is necessary to prepare certain analyzes and tests that are very expensive, as well as for required therapies. Treatment becomes financially unavailable.
Let Violeta continue her treatment abroad. She also needs funds for medications, supplements, medical supplies, therapies, specialist examinations, diagnostic procedures and laboratory tests. Let's help one mom win this unfair fight. She absolutely deserves that victory.
For Violeta to defeat the wicked disease! Let's be humane!
Let's help Violeta!
